One of the rarest muscle cars ever built was the 1970 Plymouth Superbird. This car along with the Dodge Charger Daytona was designed for NASCAR. This car was based on the Road Runner. The design of the Superbird body style followed suit of the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. The Chrysler Corp. wanted to make the two cars as aerodynamic as possible. This is what gave them their most extreme and unique look. The cone shaped nose was to allow the cars to cut through the wind. The scoops on the fenders were to allow air to escape and not get trapped in the fender wells. The scoops allowing that to happen would help keep the car from flipping. They also wanted to add a rear spoiler to the cars. Now if you are wondering about the height of the wing. Well it had to be a production car before it could be a race car. So they had to make it high enough so that the public who bought them could use and open the trunk to its full extent. The Superbird was also made famous by the “King” Richard Petty and his NASCAR wins. By 1971 the Plymouth Superbird as well as the Dodge Charger Daytona was pretty much banned by NASCAR. Today both cars are some of the most sought after cars by collectors and museums.

For the Modeler – Some scratch “decal making” are used to enhance this kit and special finish details for the interior and wheels are fully explained in the Step-by-Step Review.
